Smokey and the Bandit Part 3
Smokey's back! And the Bandit is at it again!
Directed by Dick Lowry
Produced by Universal Pictures
A lighthearted, absurdist road-chase comedy that trades on familiar characters and slapstick humor rather than genuine stakes or depth.
The Enos duo convince Cletus, aka The Bandit, to come out of hiding and help them promote their new restaurant. With a little coaxing, he agrees, producing an almost-creaky Trigger as his mode of transport. But his nemesis, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, is on the hunt, forcing Cletus and Trigger to hit the road. Can they steer clear of the vengeful sheriff?
